  1. Characterization of the transcriptome and the peptidase and the non-peptidase homologs of callosobruchus maculatus

    The cowpea bruchid, Callosobruchus maculatus is a major pest of the cowpea, which is an important crop in many areas of Africa and is also consumed in other parts of the world. The cowpea utilizes serine peptidase inhibitors as a defense against herbivorous insects. Peptidases have been considered …
